Legislative Relief for the Patriots Who

way connected with the war, think the one
received few days before Congress ad-
journed is by far the worst, said a United

pared by citizen of my state, and is well
drawn. 1t provides for the payment, with
interest, OF the money expended by every
man drafted In the war, In securing a sub
stitutc. The author of the bill Is a reputa-
BILE gentleman who lives in my town, uni he
writes me very good letter, glviug his rea-
sons why the bill should become law. lie
says the men who were drafted and who Gu
tered the army did so with their eyes open

substitutes were necessarily Obliged to pay
out from 500 to $500 from their private re.
sources, and although they made this sacri-
fee for the good of the country, they can not
get pension. lie goes on to say that many
OF the men drafted, but who never went
into the war, are now In Strengthened cir
cumstances, and that the money advanced
